Black slavery, New York Banks and the Talmudists

Rabbi Boteach and Reverend Sharpton: A Trip Down New York's Memory Lane

By THE NATION OF ISLAM RESEARCH GROUP

Nation of Islam Report v. 2 no. 45, November 18, 2011

"Blacks must comply with incessant Jewish demands for apologies, and the Jews maintain a deliberate amnesia of their own 'dishonorable and incendiary' racist past."

In his recent commentary titled "Time for the Jewish Community to End the Sharpton Wars," the self-proclaimed "America's Rabbi" Shmuley Boteach of New York calls his friend the Reverend Al Sharpton "dishonorable and incendiary," an anti-Semitic "rabble-rouser," and even charges him with collaborating with "terrorists."

The Reverend Sharpton has travelled to “Israel” with Rabbi Boteach, broken bread with him at a kosher restaurant, and interceded at his request with Governor Patterson to try to obtain a pardon for a Jewish murderer. As the rabbi himself might say, "This, you call friendship?"

But that is indeed what passes today as the "Black–Jewish" relationship. Blacks must comply with incessant Jewish demands for apologies, and the Jews maintain a deliberate amnesia of their own "dishonorable and incendiary" racist past.

The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan accurately characterized the dysfunctional relationship that Rabbi Boteach remembers so fondly: "Whenever the Light of Truth has been shone on them, they reach for you [Black leaders] to defend them against the Truth that uncovers the horror that has been done to us. They have always been successful pitting us against each other thus keeping them from facing the Truth of their real relationship with us.”

Top: Rev. Al Sharpton

Bottom: Rabbi Shmuley Boteach

And this is precisely what Rabbi Boteach is now trying to do with the Reverend Al Sharpton. The substance of Boteach's poisonous appeal is to urge his Jewish brethren to give Sharpton a mulligan— a pardon, or a do-over—for all his "anti-Semitic history."

After all, concludes the rabbi, he's not like "Louis Farrakhan."

...Boteach and Sharpton are both from New York, where that cherished and fabled Black–Jewish relationship started—not in the civil rights movement of the 1900s—but way back before Rabbi Boteach would care to remember, back in the 17th century.

Like all European settlements after Christopher Columbus, New Yorkers were desperate for free labor and so, predictably, they turned to the African, the greatest builder in world history. But first, they turned to Rabbi Boteach's people, the Jews. Early New Yorkers knew that if they wanted Black Africans, they must consult the Jewish merchants of Brazil, who had monopolized the slave trade for all of the western hemisphere. According to their own words, they needed to contact the "Jobbers and Jews," who were known to "buy up the slaves for cash" and sell them on credit.

Through these Jewish slave merchants New Yorkers hoped to "be adequately supplied with laborers," and that the slave trade "might be again revived." It was 1655 when enslaved Africans started arriving in New York in great numbers, and not coincidentally, that was just one year after Jews first settled in New York; and these Jews just happened to be from Brazil!

The most important Jewish American historian Rabbi Marc Lee Raphael went further in his "incendiary" language than Rev. Sharpton ever did when he wrote that Jews "frequently dominated" the slave trade. He said that in Brazil "Slave auctions were postponed if they fell on a Jewish holiday," and throughout the Caribbean "Jewish merchants played a major role in the slave trade."

So, Rabbi Boteach, this is why early New Yorkers needed a relationship with the "Chosen People."

In 1717 and 1721, two slave ships owned by Jewish merchant Nathan Simson sailed into the New York harbor with a total of 217 enslaved Africans. Another Jewish historian confirmed that the shipments were "two of the largest slave cargoes to be brought into New York in the first half of the eighteenth century."

So it may have been by Rabbi Boteach's ancestors that many Blacks, perhaps even Sharpton's ancestors, came to New York as slave laborers. By 1743, according to New York tax records, of 422 Jews listed, 2 had seven slaves, 5 had six slaves, 14 had four slaves, 21 had three slaves, 54 had two slaves, 282 had one slave, and only 39 reported none—but they probably hired slaves from the others. There are several advertisements reprinted in the book Jews Selling Blacks showing New York Jews actually seeking the return of their runaway slaves!

Twenty years ago near Manhattan's Foley Square, 415 graves were uncovered with as many as 20,000 of these forgotten, abused Black human beings. Stacked five deep, their decayed bones told a chilling tale of violent oppression, starvation deaths, chronic infections and unspeakable suffering. Muscles had been ripped from bone, necks had been broken and spines jammed into skulls—all injuries from lives cursed with carrying heavy loads. If they had not perished in infancy, they had lived just long enough to be worked to death. How many of these 20,000 were enslaved by these 422 Jewish people, we may never know.

Lehman Brothers

Go a few blocks to Wall Street, which became the financial center of the world through slave dealing and cotton trading. The Lehman Brothers had grandiose offices at that prestigious address, but before that they could be found with many, many other Jewish firms in the cotton plantations of Alabama when slavery was at its peak. They gave loans to white plantation masters to buy Black slaves and expand their slavery operations. Then at harvest time they took the cotton bales to sell on the world markets. One of the Lehman Brothers was actually in charge of all cotton production in the state! Think about that, Rabbi Boteach. That would be like Motown Records or Ebony Magazine setting up in Nazi Germany and using Jewish concentration camp inmates for labor.

And when the Lehmans made all that cotton money in Alabama, they then moved to Wall Street, where a market had been established in 1711 to be a "place where Negroes and Indians could be bought, sold, or hired."

We now know, through the research in The Secret Relationship, that the Jewish cotton/slavery merchants in the American South had cornered the cotton trade. They laundered this dirty slavery lucre in New York banks, which then financed the expansion of the infamous New York "Needle Trades"—the ubiquitous Jewish-owned sweatshops where women and children turned that cotton into even more profitable clothing for the world market. This is how Rabbi Boteach's people used the Rev. Sharpton's people to build their mighty financial infrastructure, making themselves the "Giants in the Land" the Bible speaks of in Numbers 13:33.

Rabbi Boteach's rabbinical predecessor, Morris Jacob Raphall, delivered a sermon to his delighted Jewish congregation in which he authoritatively asserted that the slave trade and African slavery were perfectly moral and indeed ordered by God! It was the most publicized sermon ever delivered by an American Jew up to that time. "The negro," he taught, has inferior intellectual powers, and "no man of his race has ever inscribed his name on the Parthenon of human excellence, either mental or moral."

The slave-owning Southern Confederates couldn't have been happier! They printed and reprinted this divine ruling from the New York-based leader of the "Chosen People." His New York Jewish congregation did not repudiate and denounce him for this "dishonorable and incendiary" speech—as they do to Rev. Sharpton—they made him the highest-paid clergyman in America!

Rabbi Boteach has never repudiated this hateful Talmudic nonsense, though he continually reminds his readers of all the "crimes" Sharpton has committed against the Jews. And though these alleged crimes are entirely in the form of spoken words they say emerged from the Reverend's mouth, the real Black–Jewish relationship goes way back and covers not only Jewish words of pure anti-Black hatred, but incredibly wicked Jewish deeds as well—including robbery, enslavement, and murder.

"Rabbi Boteach has never repudiated this hateful Talmudic nonsense,
though he continually reminds his readers of all the 'crimes' Sharpton
has committed against the Jews."

Rabbi Boteach is part of the Chabad-Lubavitch Hasidic movement in New York City. They adhere to the Talmud, which teaches that Jesus—the Christ—is now in hell boiling in excrement for his crimes against Jews. Further, the Chabad school system in Israel refuses to admit Ethiopian Jews because of their skin color.

Rabbi Shmuley Boteach and some of his two million fellow Jewish New Yorkers, including standouts like the ADL's Abraham Foxman and former mayor Ed Koch, have made careers of punishing Rev. Sharpton, who has done nothing but stand up for the rights of his people. They obscure the fact that they are all still benefitting from the financial foundation that their ancestors' deeds laid for them (the list of public and private enterprises supported by the Lehman Brothers is astounding).

New York Jews were heavily involved in every aspect of this unforgivable behavior, often as leaders. They gave aid and comfort to our enemies, and have proved themselves—by their own historical record— to be our most consistent enemies of all the Caucasians.

Before the "never-forgetting" New York rabbi admonishes our brother and friend Rev. Sharpton, maybe he ought to first "never forget" the role his people played in creating the dire conditions that our people suffer—to this very moment.

Exodus 21:16 He that shall steal a man, and sell him, being convicted of guilt, shall be put to death.

Deuteronomy 24:7 If a man is caught kidnapping one of his brother Israelites and treats him as a slave or sells him, the kidnapper must die. You must purge the evil from among you.

Both slaving in general and amongst the congregation was forbidden.

God commanded mercy and release, NOT slavery:

Deuteronomy 24: 17 Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger nor of the fatherless…. 18 Remember that thou wast a slave in Egypt, and the Lord thy God delivered thee from thence. Therefore I command thee to do this thing. 19 When thou hast reaped the corn in thy field, and hast forgot and left a sheaf, thou shalt not return to take it away: but thou shalt suffer the stranger, and the fatherless and the widow to take it away: that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the works of thy hands.

Our Lord Jesus Christ quoted the commandments and commanded to go beyond their literal meaning to the essence of the law which is love and charity:

Mark 10:19 Thou knowest the commandments: Do not commit adultery, do not kill, do not steal, bear not false witness, do no fraud, honour thy father and mother.

Mt. 22:36 Master, which is the greatest commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said to him: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind. 38 This is the greatest and the first commandment. 39 And the second is like to this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments dependeth the whole law and the prophets.

Matthew 5:19 He therefore that shall break one of these least commandments, and shall so teach men, shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. But he that shall do and teach, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

St. Paul condemning slavery:

1Timothy 1: 8 We know that the law is good when used correctly. 9 For the law was not intended for people who do what is right. It is for people who are lawless and rebellious, who are ungodly and sinful, who consider nothing sacred and defile what is holy, who kill their father or mother or commit other murders. 10 The law is for people who are sexually immoral, or who practice homosexuality, or are slave traders, liars, promise breakers, or who do anything else that contradicts the wholesome teaching 11 that comes from the glorious Gospel entrusted to me by our blessed God.

The law commands the death penalty for those who practice slavery. St. Paul here condemns practicing slavery as excluding one from salvation.

Babylon’s practice of slavery, both physical and spiritual, and is condemned to absolute destruction and damnation for this sin amongst all her others.

Apocalypse 18:1 … I saw another angel come down from heaven, … 2 And he cried out with a strong voice, saying: Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen; and is become the habitation of devils,: … 4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying: Go out from her, my people; that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues. 5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and the Lord hath remembered her iniquities….

10 … Babylon, that mighty city: for in one hour is thy judgment come.11 And the merchants …for no man shall buy their merchandise any more. …13 … and slaves, and souls of men.

22:14 Blessed are they that wash their robes in the blood of the Lamb: …and may enter in by the gates into the city. 15 Without are dogs, and sorcerers, and unchaste, and murderers, and servers of idols, and every one that loveth and maketh a lie.

The lie that slavery is allowed by God, invites the total exclusion from the kingdom of heaven, i.e. damnation.

St. Thomas Aquinas recognized slavery as morally justifiable and an economic necessity, quoting Aristotle in support.

I was a farm laborer myself. I cut hay by hand with a scythe for four months. That is all I did. Without technology, there is no way one can advance without slavery.

What you quote, is laws against enslaving kinsmen.

Here: "You shall not command anything in bitterness to your bondsman or maidservant, who hope in same God. Otherwise, they perhaps will not fear God, who is over both. For He does not call according to the outward appearance, but He calls those whom the Spirit has prepared. You servants, be subject to your masters as to a type of God, in modesty and fear." Didache (c. 80—140, E), 7.378.

Here is St. Ignatius "Do not disdain either male or female slaves. Yet, neither let those slaves be puffed up with pride… Let them not long to be set free at the communal expense. Otherwise, they may be found to be slaves to their own desires." Ignatius (c. 105, E), 1.94, 95.

And then here

In Exodus xxi, 20, 21, we find this law: "And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand, he shall be surely punished. Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money."

And finally: Septuagint Lev. 25.44

"And whatever number of man-servants and maid-servants thou shalt have, thou shalt purchase them from the surrounding nations."

Steve, there were TWO types of slavery in Israel, indentured servitude of kinsmen and bondage slavery of foreigners. What you are referencing is the relationship of kinsmen. And your quotes pertain to indentured servanthood. Any Hebrew kinsmen, upon debt, could be enslaved for up to 6 years. The 7th, he had to be released.

Foreigners were held in perpetual slavery.

Furthermore, the Greek Orthodox Church has never condemned slavery. It has held fast to the canons of the Ecumenical Councils which are the authority for the Universal Church. Nowhere is slavery condemned. There is NO biblical authority, there is No canonical authority and no consistent Church Father viewpoint. Christians may dislike the institution of slavery, but it is not morally wrong or evil.

The Natural Law is "All things are either in Authority or in Subjection". Some people are slaves. Slavery and servitude is needful. I live in reality and I see the need for it in ancient times. Jesus never condemned slavery and neither do I.

Aristotle is not any kind of Church authority by ANY means whatsoever.

The Antichrist will be preached as a natural (and utterly false) messiah. Proposed dichotomies like a "natural law" allowing something which the New Testament condemned utterly fit the lies of the Antichrist perfectly.

Gospel of Saint Matthew Eighth Chapter

[31] Then Jesus said to those Jews, who believed him: If you continue in my word, you shall be my disciples indeed. [32] And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. [33] They answered him: We are the seed of Abraham, and we have never been slaves to any man: how sayest thou: you shall be free? [34] Jesus answered them: Amen, amen I say unto you: that whosoever committeth sin, is the servant of sin. [35] Now the servant abideth not in the house for ever; but the son abideth for ever.

[36] If therefore the son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed. [37] I know that you are the children of Abraham: but you seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you. [38] I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and you do the things that you have seen with your father. [39] They answered, and said to him: Abraham is our father. Jesus saith to them: If you be the children of Abraham, do the works of Abraham. [40] But now you seek to kill me, a man who have spoken the truth to you, which I have heard of God. This Abraham did not.

[41] You do the works of your father. They said therefore to him: We are not born of fornication: we have one Father, even God. [42] Jesus therefore said to them: If God were your Father, you would indeed love me. For from God I proceeded, and came; for I came not of myself, but he sent me: [43] Why do you not know my speech? Because you cannot hear my word. [44] You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and he stood not in the truth; because truth is not in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof. [45] But if I say the truth, you believe me not.

The Israelites in the Old Testament were as a group forever twisting any and everything which God commanded them and never living the way they were told to. The prophets constantly rebuked them. The apostates with their legalism and excuses forever persecuted to death and exiled the prophets. Finally in their great desire to be the masters of their fellow men and not servants of God they committed Deicide. The perfidy out of which they committed this murder of the Just One, God in the flesh Jesus Christ, continues to this day. It is out of this denigration of all of God's revelation that the manifestation of the Antichrist will appear in Jerusalem and command all men to become his slaves and take his mark. To do so is to immediately and forever to be damned to hell by God.

Matthew 8:13 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant(G3816) was healed in the selfsame hour.

G3816 pais -- pronounced: paheece perhaps from 3817; a boy (as often beaten with impunity), or (by analogy), a girl, and (genitive case) a child; specially, a slave or servant (especially a minister to a king; and by eminence to God): KJV -- child, maid(-en), (man) servant, son, young man.

Matthew 12:18 Behold my servant(G3816), whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.

Matthew 18:27 Then the lord of that servant(G1401) was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.

Matthew 18:28 But the same servant(G1401) went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.

Matthew 18:32 Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant(G1401), I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:

Matthew 20:27 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant(G1401):

Matthew 23:11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant(G1249).

Matthew 24:45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant(G1401), whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

Matthew 24:46 Blessed is that servant(G1401), whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

Matthew 24:48 But and if that evil servant(G1401) shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;

Matthew 24:50 The lord of that servant(G1401)shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

Matthew 24:50 The lord of that servant(G1401) shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

Matthew 25:21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant(G1401): thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

Matthew 25:26 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant(G1401), thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:

Matthew 25:30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant(G1401) into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Matthew 26:51 And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant(G1401) of the high priest's, and smote off his ear.

Michael, this is a great article, as it gets to the root of the elites versus everybody.

That is exactly the reason for the original Pasch - Passover. God said to Pharaoh "let my people go," free them from slavery.

Pharaonic Egypt was incredibly oriented around the master-slave paradigm. The pre-born children who were ripped from the womb and disemboweled for the purposes of divination by Pharaoh's priests reading the entrails of the still barely alive and fast dying utterly innocent murdered babies (with their tiny cries) were obviously treated as chattel - slaves to the whim of the "authority" of Pharaoh and his priestly upper caste. This is part of the entire amalgam of sorcery, murder and magic in worship of Satan that obtained for them from Satan the power to try and rival Moses’ miracles that God performed for the Israelites. Any wonder why the first born of Pharaoh's Egypt were destroyed? Pharaoh was given plenty of chances but God knew his heart. In the book of Wisdom it is told that God repulsed the evil spirits upon the Egyptians that they had been worshipping in order to free His people and judge Pharaoh and his servants by their own "lights." See Book of Wisdom, Chapters 15 - 19:5. It was literally Pharaoh's obstinacy that caused the death of the Egyptian first-born. The first type of what the Passover means, as the Church Fathers teach, is as a type of the suffering that Christ would endure - He took upon Himself the sins of mankind upon His Most Holy Cross, the only One True Holocaust – sacrifice and offering to God for sin, though He was utterly innocent of any transgression ever, nor is it ever possible that He ever could be in the least guilty of or party to any sin. Secondly, it is judgment upon the ungodly.

Prophet after prophet castigated the Israelites for behaving in the same way as Pharaoh and his priests. One example of a huge number:

Isaiah 57:5

v.5 Who inflame yourselves among the oaks, Under every luxuriant tree, Who slaughter the children in the ravines, Under the clefts of the crags?

God's command and Pharaoh's hard heart.

1 Exodus 5:1 After these things Moses and Aaron went in, and said to Pharao: Thus saith the Lord God of Israel: Let my people go that they may sacrifice to me in the desert.

2 Exodus 7:16 And thou shalt say to him: The Lord God of the Hebrews sent me to thee saying: Let my people go to sacrifice to me in the desert: and hitherto thou wouldst not hear.

3 Exodus 8:1 And the Lord said to Moses: Go in to Pharao, and thou shalt say to him: Thus saith the Lord: Let my people go to sacrifice to me.

4 Exodus 8:20 The Lord also said to Moses: Arise early, and stand before Pharao: for he will go forth to the waters: and thou shalt say to him: Thus saith the Lord: Let my people go to sacrifice to me.

5 Exodus 9:1 And the Lord said to Moses: Go in to Pharao, and speak to him: Thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews: Let my people go to sacrifice to me.

6 Exodus 9:13 And the Lord said to Moses: Arise in the morning, and stand before Pharao, and thou shalt say to him: Thus saith the Lord the God of the Hebrews: Let my people go to sacrifice to me.

7 Exodus 10:3 Therefore Moses and Aaron went in to Pharao, and said to him: Thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews: How long refusest thou to submit to me? let my people go, to sacrifice to me.

8 Exodus 8:8 But Pharao called Moses and Aaron and said to them: Pray ye to the Lord to take away the frogs from me and from my people; and I will let the people go to sacrifice to the Lord.

Steve- your example of the Hebrews being oppressed slaves in Egypt automatically led me to Deuteronomy:

Deuteronomy 3:24 O Lord GOD, thou hast begun to shew thy servant thy greatness, and thy mighty hand: for what God is there in heaven or in earth, that can do according to thy works, and according to thy might?

Deuteronomy 15:15 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee: therefore I command thee this thing to day.16 And it shall be, if he say unto thee, I will not go away from thee; because he loveth thee and thine house, because he is well with thee;17 Then thou shalt take an aul, and thrust it through his ear unto the door, and he shall be thy servant for ever. And also unto thy maidservant thou shalt do likewise.18 It shall not seem hard unto thee, when thou sendest him away free from thee; for he hath been worth a double hired servant to thee, in serving thee six years: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all that thou doest.

Deuteronomy 23:15 Thou shalt not deliver unto his master the servant which is escaped from his master unto thee:

Deuteronomy 24:14 Thou shalt not oppress an hired servant that is poor and needy, whether he be of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that are in thy land within thy gates:

Deuteronomy 34:5 So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD.

I really have to question the motives and the hearts of those here who are apparently condoning the slave trade (by the Judaics) that this country once had.....

Money and oppression for power and a sheer coward's dominion over others stand out as motives. Instead of good scholarship and ministry, the false prophets are greedy and abominable. A workman is worthy of his wages of course, I am not arguing with that. But take Christian Zionists for instance, they do what they do strictly for money and an ungodly dominion over others. In the middle of all of that they sell out the original Christians and others of the Holy Land to the ungodly and anti-Christian Zionists. Hagee and Falwell stand out as examples. The broadcasting they are set out in the middle of is full shuckster pleas and every con job for money.

We were warned about these false prophets, including the Judaic element, especially.

Anyone who involves themselves with the clamorous wrangling of the Jews and the Judaists in particular for filthy lucre, instead of clearly and completely rejecting all of their blasphemy and condemning it immediately and forever is guilty of this:

Titus 1:11Who must be reproved, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.

James 5:2Your riches are corrupted: and your garments are motheaten.

1 Timothy 6:

5 Conflicts of men corrupted in mind, and who are destitute of the truth, supposing gain to be godliness.

20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding the profane novelties of words, and oppositions of knowledge falsely so called.

2 Timothy 3:7 Ever learning, and never attaining to the knowledge of the truth. 8 Now as Jannes and Mambres resisted Moses, so these also resist the truth, men corrupted in mind, reprobate concerning the faith. 9 But they shall proceed no farther; for their folly shall be manifest to all men, as theirs also was.

______________________________

Judaizing Gnostics are especially meant here.

Titus 1:14Not giving heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men, who turn themselves away from the truth.

Jude 10But these men blaspheme whatever things they know not: and what things soever they naturally know, like dumb beasts, in these they are corrupted. 11 Woe unto them, for they have gone in the way of Cain: and after the error of Balaam they have for reward poured out themselves, and have perished in the contradiction of Core. 12 These are spots in their banquets, feasting together without fear, feeding themselves, clouds without water, which are carried about by winds, trees of the autumn, unfruitful, twice dead, plucked up by the roots, 13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own confusion; wandering stars, to whom the storm of darkness is reserved for ever.

2 Peter 2:19Promising them liberty, whereas they themselves are the slaves of corruption. For by whom a man is overcome, of the same also he is the slave.
